2018 Advocacy Victory

Cooperation & Collaboration

• SC&RA submitted three requests to CVSA (Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance) regarding OS/OW permit loads and escorts in an effort to develop best practices for all states and provinces. The requests were assignment of police and private escorts, police escort threshold requirements and state line inspections.


• SC&RA was recognized by OSHA as a partner in its "Safe + Sound Campaign" for efforts to promote a safety and health program in every workplace.


• Partnering with KHL, SC&RA co-hosted a successful Tower Crane North America Conference in June. The event attracted 290 attendees from 17 countries, representing 165 companies.


• SC&RA worked collaboratively with the International Crane Stakeholders Assembly (comprised of AEM, CICA, CRAC, ESTA, FEM and SC&RA) in Australia to review draft position papers on Ground Conditions for Wind Farms and Mobile Cranes on Barges, and discussed updates on international crane standards, including B30.30, B30.5 and EN13000.
